Algebra.Com's Answer #107222 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! x varies from -1 to -10, a length of 9. The 3 equal lengths will be 3 units long, at x = -4 and x = -7. \n" ); document.write( "y varies from 2 to -1, a length of 3. The y coordinates will be 1 and 0. \n" ); document.write( "So the points are (-4,1) and (-7,0) \n" ); document.write( "There are harder ways to solve it. \n" ); document.write( " |
